olympics

gudas when I (and the non-american andnon-czech people of the world) catch you....

I saw it before and moved on. But then I looked at it again, and has anyone looked at the audience in the back. I didn’t immediately assume the video was off until I looked at them. Moving awfully fast aren’t they? :pepeslippy:

TLDR: Jordan Chiles was the last to go. She received 13.666, which put her in 5th behind Ana Barbosu of Romania who got a 13.700 (3rd) and Sabrina Voinea, also with a 13.7 (she got the same score but she’s in 4th because she loses out on the tiebreaker). Then Jordans coaches filed an inquiry...

After Carlos Yulo won his second gold medal on vault at the Olympics (he was the first male athlete from the Philippines to win gold) you could see one of the athletes British athletes competing against him excitedly gesturing 2, for the two gold medals Carlos Yulo had won. It was just so...

Here it is, in condensed form :sakUwu:

there was a time when university aged women were frozen out of gymnastics except for specialist congrats to her!!

Vietnamese female olympic archer Đỗ Thị Ánh Nguyệt who is currently participating at the 2024 Paris Olympics and who is a fan of the most popular V-pop singer Sơn Tùng M-TP : Vietnamese female olympic badminton player Nguyễn Thùy Linh who is currently participating at the 2024 Paris Olympics :

I’d say the first, 5th, and 7th>>>2nd, 4th, and 6th>>>8th>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>3rd. It’s not noticeable from here but the 3rd has red, white, and blue crystals, not just normal crystals.

One thing some people like to say about gymnastics now vs in like the 1970s is about the different body types that top competitors have. I’ve seen plenty of people describing those at the top in the 1970s as “youthful” or saying they had “elegant” or “childlike” or “graceful” bodies. And it’s...

the hardest road

Only the Olympics (specifically gymnastics, swimming, figure skating and snowboarding) is fascinating to me. College basketball isn’t too bad either.

Figure skating involves individuals, pairs, or groups performing on figure skates. Figure skating originated in the mid 19th century. American skater Jackson Haines, often called the father of figure skating, introduced an expressive form of skating, which became more popular in Europe. There...

Imagine using the situation Kerri Strug sitiation as an example of what someone should do. Besides, we all know that probably all these people who are hating on Simone Biles and using Kerri Strug as part of their argument would be incapable of even walking without limping when they had a broken...

That makes so much sense :coronawimwim:

Yet I would never start doing something like this, it seems too hard :wimwim: https://www.upworthy.com/amp/belgian-olympic-marathoner-cant-believe-she-finished-28th-2654636918

And manages to win a bronze medal on beam :maheart: Congrats to her, I'm glad she's feeling at least a little better, and I'm glad she stood up for herself and did what she needed to.

I feel bad for Jade Carey on vault, she could have done so well. Nerves are a bitch. Congrats to MyKayla Skinner though, it must feel good to go from not competing to being a silver medalist. And of course congrats to Andrade for her gold, it was deserved. Bars was a bit of a mess. It's a shame...

I wasn't that surprised that Russia won, but I wasn't expecting Simone to pull out. With her they might have had a chance but without it was an easy victory for Russia. I wonder what'll happen for finals, Simone said she'd be back but we'll see how she does then ig :susPepe:
